Yi Song

Chapter 151 Wuniang persuades her father

The snow is getting heavier and heavier. God seems to know that spring is coming soon. If it doesn't snow, there will be no chance.

I wish all the snow in the warehouse could be removed tonight.

"I don't know, I don't know." Liu Baoxiang replied kindly.

"Xiang Lao, can brother Erlang exterminate the field thieves?" Zhao Wuniang asked softly, huffing and puffing.

"must be able to."

"Are you so confident?" Zhao Wuniang asked in surprise.

"Fifth sister, this old slave has lived for more than seventy years and has met countless people, but he has never seen anyone like Liu Erlang. This person acts unconventionally and seems to be reckless, but in fact he has a lot of rules and regulations.

In this world, there are many people who follow the rules, but few can achieve anything. "

"Xiang Lao, can brother Erlang defeat Cai Jing?"

"can."

"Hehe, you have confidence again."

"Fifth sister, the main reason why Cai Jing and others can win many battles is because they regard the rules as nothing. The reason why the Qingliu people keep losing in battles is because they want to defeat Cai Jing within the rules. How can they win if one side lets their hands and feet go and the other side restrains them? ?

Liu Erlang's strength is that you say he doesn't follow the rules, but he follows the laws of nature and conscience. It is said that he follows the rules but acts recklessly and does whatever he wants.

That's why Cai Jing and others are so troubled by him and are at a loss what to do. "

"Yes, I also believe that Brother Erlang can defeat Cai Jing, because he does not accept his fate and will not admit defeat. Now I have begun to believe that people should not accept their fate. Once you accept your fate, it is equivalent to admitting defeat."

"Fifth sister is right."

The two talked softly, stamping their feet from time to time, rubbing their hands and walking around in place.

The four maids had already hid in the corner, hugging each other tightly to keep each other warm.

As the night gets darker, the falling snow seems to become smaller, but it is still overwhelming.

Zhao Wuniang's head, shoulders, and body were all covered with snow.

At the beginning, just dust it off. In the end, I just didn't bother to care about it anymore and just let it go.

"Xiang Lao, if the six thieves are eliminated and dad is no longer deceived, will the world really become prosperous and prosperous?"

"Fifth sister, this old slave doesn't know. Who can explain clearly the origin of causes in this world?" Liu Baoxiang answered vaguely.

Zhao Wuniang glanced at him and continued: "How do you think brother Erlang will defeat Cai Jing?"

"I can't think of it. If I can think of it, I'm afraid Cai Jing can think of it too. That would be bad."

"Yes."

Suddenly, two lights lit up in the distance of the alley, and a group of people walked over.

As I got closer, I saw six palace ladies, two small yellow doors with lanterns in front of them.

"Young/servant servant has met Di Ji."

"who are you?"

"This servant is the maid of Jiuhua Palace. On the order of the Concubine Xian, I have sent you two fox fur cloaks, four moon clothes, two food boxes, two jars of hot soup and some pastries inside, to offer to the Emperor."

"Please thank the Concubine Xian!" Zhao Wuniang said with a cupped hand.

The maids returned the gift and went back the way they came.

Zhao Wuniang called the maids to come over and put on the moon clothes. She also put on the fox fur cloak and gave the other one to Liu Baoxiang.

He didn't want it dead or alive, so Zhao Wuniang put it on him with her own hands, and then she accepted it.

After drinking a bowl of hot soup and eating a few pastries, Zhao Wuniang and the six of them suddenly felt warm all over their bodies, no matter how heavy the snowstorm was, they didn't feel cold anymore.

"Isn't the Concubine Xian recommended to the palace by Yang Jian? Is she still so kind to me?"

"When she was brought back to the palace by Yang Jian, she was still helpless and bullied. Empress Mingda remembered that her surname was Liu, so she kept her by her side and found an opportunity to introduce her to the officials. She has been favored since then. The virtuous concubine has clear grievances. After being favored, everyone who had offended her, including the high-ranking chamberlain He Xin, was framed and killed by her. She still remembers the kindness of Queen Mingda back then. "

"It turned out to be the virtue accumulated by my mother back then. Not only did she give birth to me, she also protected me secretly, gave me brother Erlang, and also gave me warmth in the wind and snow."

Zhao Wuniang clasped her palms together and bowed devoutly to the sky three times.

When the sky in the east began to turn purple, the wind and snow miraculously stopped, and the gloomy clouds were rolled up by the wind and snow and disappeared without a trace.

A crack was suddenly torn open at the junction of heaven and earth, causing half of the sky to turn blue, then orange, and then red.

A red sun suddenly jumped out of the ground, covered with endless rays of light, and came to the world.

It's daybreak, but daddy won't be able to get up for a while.

Zhao Wuniang was anxious, looking at the red sun, her heart moved.

You are not allowed to make loud noises at night, but you can during the day. Not only can I speak loudly, but I can also sing loudly.

Zhao Wuniang suddenly remembered the "new song" that Brother Erlang sang to herself and Sister Thirteen in his spare time, and she immediately sang loudly.

"Yesterday was like the water flowing in the east. It can't stay away from me. Today, I have so many worries in my heart. If I cut off the water with a knife, the water will flow even more."

The steward of Zefangyuan opened the door, bulging his eyes, saying that it was not true, and he did not dare to scold.

You are not allowed to make loud noises at night or alarm the officials, but there seems to be no such taboo during the day.

Di Ji sang loudly, which seemed not to be against the ban.

The singing was melodious and drifting in. After a while, Zhao Ji walked out wearing a cloak and yawning.

"Hey, who is singing the new song, Fifth Sister? It's very nice and sweet. Well, if it's really Fifth Sister, I'll tell you that you are the only one in Manhuang City with such a good voice. What kind of song can you sing?"

"Returning to Daddy, it's "New Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies Dream". I heard brother Erlang sing it. When he was at sea, he heard a sailor named Huang An sing it."

"Liu Erlang?" Zhao Ji was completely awake. He stared at Zhao Wuniang, "Are you here just for him?"

"Yes." Zhao Wuniang said confidently: "Brother Erlang originally didn't want to go to dredge the Bianhe River, but his father and Master Cai forced him to go. As a result, within three months, the dredging of the Bianhe River was completed, and the Ministry of Industry was even called Hedu Water Supervisor sent someone to check and accept it.

There was a civil turmoil in Huaibei, and the eight poles were out of reach of him. It was his father and the grand master who said that he was brave and good at fighting, and that he was in Nanjing and wiped out the rebel army with his own hands. "

Zhao Wuniang kept talking, just like a string of small firecrackers being lit.

"Who can wipe out the 40,000 to 50,000 bandits? Taiwei Tong or Captain Gao? How about letting Grand Master Cai wipe them out?"

When Zhao Ji heard this, he realized that this was the truth.

There are 40,000 to 50,000 thieves, not 40,000 to 50,000 ducks, waiting for you to catch them. Even if there were 40,000 to 50,000 ducks, it would take several days for Liu Erlang and his men to catch them.

"Winning or losing is a common thing for a soldier. Who has never lost a battle since the beginning? Taiwei Tong is said to be victorious in every battle. When he first went to the northwest, he was not in a good position. He lost many divisions and soldiers before he gradually got started.

Why do you have to win the battle when you get to Brother Erlang? He suffered so much, worked as a sailor, worked as a trader, rode a horse, and fought to the death with bandits on the grassland. But he had never dredged rivers or led troops in battles. His father asked him to go, so he went without saying a word.

When he got home, he told us privately that he didn't know how to do these things, and he was pounding in his heart, but the official was not only the emperor of the Song Dynasty, but also his uncle. He trusted him so much that he had to go and he couldn't live up to his uncle's expectations. Hope and trust. "

Zhao Wuniang was like a divine helper. The more she spoke, the clearer her mind became, and the more she spoke, the more eloquent she became.

The more Zhao Ji listened, the more moved he became.

"Dredging the Bianhe River for three months, Brother Erlang was in the wilderness day and night. He didn't even dare to live in the county town for fear of missing the errand assigned to him by his father. What happened to the killings? Brother Erlang brought more than 200,000 victims from all over the country. , families are destroyed, people are killed, people are impetuous, and there are many extremely vicious people among them.

Dad, it’s winter now, the wind and snow are blowing, and it’s biting. Who is willing to work and dig in the wilderness? If you don't kill people to establish authority, how can you suppress these people? Dad, without any means, can Brother Erlang complete the errand you asked me to do?

Oh, I killed hundreds of people, suppressed 200,000 victims, and forced the rebels in Huaibei thousands of miles away to rebel. Is there any truth in this world? Why not say that after killing hundreds of murderers, the Hexi family was dissatisfied and sent troops to invade the country. It was also brother Erlang's fault! "

Zhao Wuniang said it all, and the more Zhao Ji listened, the more reasonable it became.

I really blamed Liu Erlang wrongly.
